Supervision helps the student in search of his or her own direction

These online instructions, the instruction given in writing and methodology and the thesis supervision are mutually reinforcing. The instructions may provide you with new information, but, first and foremost, they help you to summon what you have learned earlier and what the supervisor has instructed.

Thus the supervision can better focus on the matter itself. For example, the discussions during supervision sessions may relate to various options of conducting the work and writing the report – however, these are dependent on the topic and the author.  Supervision helps the student in search of his or her own direction and solutions.
